Our organizational assessment process provides a safe and confidential process for the organization to tell the story of its strengths and needs to itself.
Key people are interviewed in complete privacy and confidentiality and comments are captured. Perspectives are brought together, themed and reported back with preliminary thoughts for addressing concerns and developing connections, capabilities and alignment.
When an organization is seeking clarity, this technique provides a catalyst for clarity, change and long-term planning.
Assessments are only as good as the questions we ask, the reporting we do and the patterns we can identify to help you get clear about you and the people you're trying to develop. It starts with questions.
Here is a sample handful:
- What do you see as the top priorities/expectations for this leader?
- What are the major organizational and business challenges that this leader faces?
- Describe your impressions of this leader.
- What are the top talents this leader should leverage the most?
- What does this leader need to do to improve effectiveness with the team? Customers?
- What are the most important skills this leader needs to improve?
- To increase this leader’s effectiveness what should s/he continue, stop and start doing?
- What are the top competencies that your organization and team need to improve?
